+<h1> The <tt>fdclose</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+<tt>fdclose</tt> closes a given file descriptor, then
+executes a program.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+     fdclose <em>fd</em> <em>prog...</em>
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+<tt>fdclose</tt> closes the file descriptor number <em>fd</em>, then
+execs into <em>prog</em> with its arguments.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Notes </h2>
+
+<ul>
+ <li> <tt>fdclose <em>n</em> prog...</tt> is roughly equivalent to
+<tt>sh -c 'exec prog... <em>n</em>&lt;&amp;-'</tt></li>
+</ul>
